Negative, Negative, Negative

I don't live in Brighton and I am away up north for Christmas. When I can go I do. I sat in the cold and watched an FA cup replay that very few others did. The fact I was not there today does not mean I can't have an opinion on a club I love and have supported for 27 years. So go jump pal.

An opinion on the club you are entitled to. But commenting on the reaction of fans who actually attended the game you are not. We were absolutely shocking today, no passion, no invention, nothing. Dickinson was by some considerable distance man of the match for sheer effort and bloody mindedness.

For the record, I don't live in Brighton either, but have missed only one home game all season.....so go jump just a little bit higher.

I think that for a number of seasons we have punched above our weight,and now we are being found out.We had a clear out in the summer under Slade,Gus will not in January,the money just will not be there. I don't like loans but i feel that is what to expect.What i feel is missing ....passion,on the pitch and off it,as i was getting wet and fed up,i felt to blame as much as the players and the stay away commentators

That is all that we seem to get on this board. Whilst I appreciate that some of you good folk went to the game got cold and wet and saw a poor performance the moaning and defeatist comments on here are PATHETIC.

1. Poyet has HALF a season to sort it out including a Jan transfer window.
2. With a core of quality singings in centre back, centre mid and left wing players like Tunnicliffe, Bennett and dicker will change for the better.
3. We kept a clean sheet.
4. We survived with 10 men (would not have happened under RS.
5. Gus is changing the whole club and with the run of dodgy performances and poor results knows EXACTLY what he needs to do.

Stop f***ing whinging and get behind big Gus and the squad he will select AFTER we sign some new players.

Huff and puff as much as you like, but the fact remains that we don't have a joined-up game plan for threatening the opposition goal. It's been like that for a couple of seasons now and shows no signs of improving, no matter who the manager is. We're a mediocre third division team and its going to take a COMPLETE clear out (yeah and that includes El-Abd, Elphick and Virgo plus the dozen or so nondescript freeloaders who always accumulate at the club at any given time) before we end up with a lean mean ambitious squad capable of taking it to the next level.

If only we were mediocre!

Acker79, I know it is christmas so will assume that you were several glasses to the worst before you wrote,- last year was a success over the previous seasons 7th place finish.
Would you like to run that line again?

 

[Acker79]

Well, last year's relegation fight was a success for us. Shouldn't that give you some positivity? The season before was a 7th place finish, the season before that was 18th (another avoiding relegation success to give us positivity). The season before that was in the divison above (and of our chairman, manager, coach, assistant and entire matchday squad on the final day of that season, only Adam El Abd is still with us). The season before that in the season [should be 'division' not 'season'] above was a another successful avoidance of relegation.

Given all that, shouldn't we have more positivity, more hope?

Where in the above quote did I say last years was a success over 7th?

I said last year's relegation fight was a success. It was. We didn't go down, ergo we won the fight against relegation = success!

I mentioned the year before because you talked about our last two two relegation fights, so I was working my way back through the seasons to cover our recent relegation fights.

If it had been a 3pm kick-off we wouldn't have got wet.
